Starliner
Starliner is a five-year-old who has carved out a steady if modest career, winning 4 of his 52 races and placing in 19 others. That works out to roughly 1 win every 13 races — respectable enough for a horse competing at Class 4 level, where he has won twice from 16 attempts. He last visited the winner's circle three months ago at Ayr on fast, dry ground, which appears to be his preference. On such conditions he wins about 1 in every 5 races (2 wins from 9), a marked improvement on his overall record and a clear pattern worth noting.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
His form has been patchy lately. He has not won in his last six races, though he has picked up places regularly, finishing second or third twice in that run. That kind of consistency without a breakthrough suggests he remains competitive at his level but has lost the spark that carried him to victory at Ayr in May. Trained by Linda Perratt at East Kilbride, Starliner is most often partnered with jockey Tommie Jakes, though that pairing has managed just 1 win from 13 races together. He was raced as recently as yesterday, so he is an active runner in the yard's plans. With Linda Perratt's team having sent out 19 winners this season, there remains room for Starliner to add to his tally — particularly if he can find another surface of fast, dry ground where he has shown he belongs.
